US Analyst Reveals Reason for Lack of Major Youth Protests in Pakistan

A US analyst has attributed Pakistan's lack of major youth protests to its social cleavages. Michael Kugelman, a South Asia expert, said that these cleavages prevent a unified movement. This is in contrast to countries like India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bangladesh, where youth-led protests have been more common. Kugelman's comments come as Pakistan faces growing anger against the government. Despite this, a large-scale youth-led protest movement has not emerged in Pakistan.
